Astronomers detect radio waves directly from exoplanet Beta Pictoris b

For the first time, scientists have recorded radio waves coming directly from an exoplanet — the source is the massive gas giant Beta Pictoris b. This is a breakthrough in astronomy, since even a few decades ago the existence of planets beyond the solar system was not certain. Detecting an exoplanet's own radio emissions opens new possibilities for studying the atmospheres and magnetic fields of distant worlds.
